From today's Variety:
The life story of Dodgers' manager Tommy Lasorda is reported on the
"fast track for development" at Miramax. Al Pacino has "expressed
interest" in playing the famously irascible Lasorda with Michelle
Pfeiffer a "possibility" as his wife. Translation--don't dress for the
premiere. There's many a slip twixt the "fast track" and the first day
of shooting. Still and all, for the life of me I can't imagine Al
Pacino on a baseball field. But, that's why they call it acting!
Wha---? Pacino as Lasorda? I don't know about that. If anyone I
would actually choose Russell Crowe a la The Insider or Body of Lies.
It would be amusing to watch. Who should play Hershiser, Scioscia,
and Kirk Gibson? George Lopez as Fernando Valenzuela? Garvey and
Cey? A young Tom Cruise as Garvey? LOL
